6 way tie for the BigTen Regular season championship?

[taHawkeyes]

Maryland: lose at Rutgers and vs. Michigan
Wisconsin: lose at Indiana
Illinois: lose vs. Iowa
MSU: lose at Penn State
Iowa: win out
Penn State: win out

Lots of work to be done, but let’s see it happen lol

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

Iowa win out... going to be tough but if they can play as well as they have the last few games I can vision us beating Illinois .. and Purdue Iowa is going to be like a caged lion who hasn’t eaten in a week licking its chops
For Purdon’t

Very well said OP... I hope that comes true and it could be a likely scenario as Wisconsin didn’t look that great last night against Minny

Illinois, @ home, was very, very fortunate to escape Indiana by 2. No question Iowa can win there. IU handled the Orange Krush just fine and had every opportunity to win at the end.

Question, if we were to win out, Maryland lose out, Wisconsin and MSU lose at least once... would you prefer we tie with fewer teams even if it means a 2, 3, or 4 seed (when the 6-way tie would give us the 1 seed)?

I’d be okay with taking a lower seed to tie with less teams. Being the #1 seed would be pretty awesome though. Guess it comes down to potential matchups as well.

So you're assuming that Illinois is going into Columbus and beat an Ohio State team that has certainly righted it's ship, hmm, interesting.

It's just fun to only have 2 games left and have a shot at #1.

If there is a tie for first place, do they award regular season championships to all teams tied for 1st? Then the tiebreakers are only used for seeding?

I don’t think he assumed anything; he just laid out how his scenario could happen.

With that said, we’ve gotten plenty of impressive roadkill already this year, so us winning in Columbus might not be as crazy as it sounds! Did last year, too.

Iowa would get a very favorable way to the BIG Championship.

1- Iowa
2- Penn State
3- Michigan State
4- Wisconsin
5- Maryland
6- Illinois

Yeah, that is how seeding works.

Suspect so. They do it this way in football (e.g. Hawks in 2004).

Well they would play Wisconsin or Maryland likely in the semifinals you idiot. I know they wouldn’t play Penn State

The seeding for a 6-way tie for 1st place at 13-7 would actually look like this:

1. Iowa
2. MSU
3. PSU
4. MD
5. WI
6. IL

Head-to-head is meaningless in multi-team ties. If teams aren't separated from each other by record vs each other, you don't revert back to head-to-head. Instead you go right to record vs. #1 seed (MSU 1-0 PSU 1-1; MD 1-1 WI 0-1), which is why seeding would be the way I've displayed it. This rule is also why Iowa is guaranteed no lower than 4th if they win out (they would potentially win a tiebreaker with MSU even through they are 0-1 against them).

I'm am saying the number 1 seed usually has "a favorable path".

Ah, I see what I did wrong.

1) For some reason I thought PSU and MSU were tied with round-robin record, but PSU is actually better; and

2) Maryland-Wisconsin tiebreaker comes down to record vs. 7th place teams, not Iowa.

Thanks for the link.

In the end of the day, they would still tie with Maryland even if all of this happened. To be able to share it with multiple teams would be fine as well. I’d be fine with sharing it with 5 other teams like I mentioned at the top of the thread. To be able to have a regular season conference championship, especially this season, would be incredible.
